Icy roads lead to crashes, five deaths in U.S. Northeast
(Reuters) - Five people were killed and others injured in crashes on icy roads in Pennsylvania and Connecticut on Sunday, authorities said. Light rain in the Philadelphia area caused flash-freezing on the roads and numerous crashes shut parts of Interstate 76 and other highways, said Eugene Blaum, spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. Two people died in crash on a frozen highway just west of Philadelphia in Delaware County, according the Pennsylvania State police. In northeastern Pennsylvania, a 34-year-old man died on Interstate 84 when his car overturned and he and his 12-year-old son were thrown from it.

Manhunts, death threats as Europe on high terror alert
Europe
was on high alert on Monday as the suspected mastermind of a jihadist
cell in Belgium remained at large and jittery authorities blocked
anti-Islamist rallies in Germany and France. In the wake of the deadly
attacks in France and anti-terror raids in Belgium, EU foreign ministers
are to meet in Brussels to discuss ways to boost cooperation to combat
the threat posed by radicalised Europeans returning home after fighting
in Iraq and Syria. With tensions heightened, the second gunman in the
attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine which killed 12 people was buried
discreetly in an unmarked grave near Paris late Saturday in the hope
that it would not become a pilgrimage site for radical Islamists.
Meanwhile, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, considered the brains behind the cell
plotting to kill Belgian police, was still on the run days after the
group was dismantled by intelligence services.Read More ...

Pope attracts world-record crowd in rain-swept Philippines
Pope
Francis drew a record six million people as he celebrated mass in the
rain-swept Philippine capital Sunday, a triumphant finale to an Asian
tour in which he championed the plight of the poor. Francis made an
exhilarating entrance to a Manila bayside park for the mass aboard a
"popemobile" that was styled after the nation's iconic, flamboyant and
much-loved "jeepney" minibus. The Philippines is famed as the Catholic
Church's bastion in Asia, with 80 percent of the former Spanish colony
following the faith. "I cannot fathom the faith of the simple people,"
Francis said, according to the Archbishop of Manila, Cardinal Luis
Antonio Tagle, who acted as the pontiff's chaperone.Read More ...
Pope Manila Mass drew record crowd of 6-7 million: Vatican
By
Philip Pullella and Rosemarie Francisco MANILA (Reuters) - Pope Francis
concluded his trip to Asia on Sunday with an open-air Mass for a
rain-drenched crowd in Manila that the Vatican and the government said
drew up to seven million people, the largest ever for a papal event.
Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said the office of the
president told the Vatican that between six and seven million attended
the Mass in Manila's Rizal Park and surrounding areas. "If this is true,
and we think it is, this is the largest event in the history of the
popes," he said, noting that Pope John Paul drew some five million to
the same area in 1995. The 78-year-old pope, wearing a transparent
yellow poncho over his white cassock, was driven through the ecstatic
crowd in a "popemobile" modified from a jeepney, the most popular mode
of transport in the Philippines which is based on a U.S. military
vehicle used in World War II. He stopped often along the route to kiss
children and bless religious statues on the day the Philippines
celebrates the feast of the infant Jesus.Read More ...
